Call of Duty's Robert Bowling opens game studio for next gen, Robotoki

4.6

This is an unexpected respawn. Robert "FourZeroTwo" Bowling, creative strategist and hype man for Call of Duty at Infinity Ward, who abruptly quit a month ago, is running the show at his own game development studio called Robotoki.

Bowling tells Game Informer that Robotoki is focused on being a "developer development studio that just happens to make games." What? He continues, "We are focused on our team first and everything else second, because I believe as an industry, we have a lot to learn on how to treat talent. While we continue to out stride film and music entertainment in other areas, we are falling severely behind in how to properly inspire and support our creative talent."

What about making money?

Bowling said Robotoki is self-funded, working only with partners who support that model, where creative vision holders have complete control over the work. The company's first project will be revealed later this year and is targeted for next generation console, PC and mobile devices. Oh, Bowling is also hiring.

aimiami12 he just should just get IW started again and make games other then just cod.
mw1 and 2 were amazing, but then they handed it over to a new team? WHY

MW2 was terrible.

You're insane. MW2 is a classic.

MW2 certainly was not a classic.
Just different guns, maps, and graphics.
Black Ops would have been a better classic.

How about we talk about the article, not the games he made. K thanks.

He deserved better than Infinity Ward. He got so much hate from the community. Nice to see him getting back on track

Yes and no. MW2 is where 1) Fanboism really sparked in CoD, and 2) They started adding useless, annoying, and just not necessary **** like nukes, emps to the game. MW3 is just crap.

Umm started again?
He quit his position, the company is still going.
As far as I know... haha
